Refinishing anodized aluminum on fishing reels

Q. Sirs:

I have several international penn reels that are anodized aluminum. They have have been bounced around a lot and look like hell! What can I do to restore the finish on them? The golden looking finish shows deep scratches and rubbing abrasive wear spots.I'd appreciate your input!

Thank you,
